Why Do Chimney Leaks Need To Be Taken Care Of ASAP?
Prevent Structural Damage
A chimney leak can cause water to seep into the structure of your chimney, leading to the deterioration of the bricks and mortar. Over time, this can weaken the chimney’s integrity and pose a risk to the overall structure of your home. By repairing the leak promptly, you can prevent further damage and maintain the structural integrity of your chimney.
Prevent Mold and Mildew Growth
Excess moisture from a chimney leak can create a damp environment that is conducive to mold and mildew growth. Mold and mildew not only cause unpleasant odors but also pose potential health risks to you and your family. By addressing the leak quickly, you can prevent mold and mildew from spreading and ensure a safe and healthy living environment.
Protect Interior and Exterior Surfaces
A chimney leak can cause water stains and damage to your interior walls, ceilings, and floors. Additionally, the exterior surfaces of your chimney may become discolored, deteriorated, or stained. By repairing the leak promptly, you can protect the aesthetics of your home and prevent further damage to your interior and exterior surfaces.
Our Chimney Leak Repair Process
Step 1: Leak Inspection
Our team will thoroughly inspect your chimney to identify the source and extent of the leak. We utilize advanced techniques, such as video scanning, to detect hidden leaks and assess the overall condition of your chimney.
Step 2: Repair Leak Damage Areas
Once the source of the leak is identified, we will repair the damaged areas. Whether repairing cracked bricks, replacing deteriorated mortar, or fixing damaged flashing, our team has the expertise to restore your chimney to its optimal condition.
Step 3: Chimney Relining (If Required)
If our inspection reveals issues with your chimney liner, we may recommend chimney relining. Chimney relining involves installing a new liner inside your chimney to ensure proper venting and protection against future leaks. Our team will assess the condition of your liner and provide professional recommendations tailored to your specific needs.
Step 4: Apply Special Masonry Water-Repellent
We apply a high-quality masonry water-repellent to prevent future chimney leaks. This special coating provides long-lasting protection against water penetration while allowing the chimney to breathe and maintain its structural integrity.
Step 5: Install Chimney Cap for Future Leak Prevention
To prevent future chimney leaks, we strongly recommend the installation of a chimney cap. A chimney cap protects against rain, snow, debris, and animals, preventing them from entering your chimney and causing damage. Our team will install a high-quality chimney cap that fits your chimney perfectly, providing superior leak prevention.
